First outing with the new camera. Terrible weather, freezing rain, snow, very grey light. I have played with AI servo on close stationary objects shooting in burst and have got very sharp series, however, today not so much. I got a couple decent shots when not shooting in burst. Here is one of the best from the series. I love the feel and speed of this camera but it just feels like it is going to be a challenge to master it for BIF.

Not bad at all considering the conditions.

Thanks beekeeper, I am hoping for much sharper as I get better acquainted with the AF system. Some of the AI servo shots acted as if it did not focus, did not appear to be an MFA issue, just soft like it missed.

Very nice Mike. I found that AI Servo doesn't do as well on gray days. One shot seems better.
